Leeds prepare to entertain Bristol Rovers at Elland Road on Saturday afternoon, aiming to preserve their record of never having lost at home to the visitors. Of the 8 previous meetings, 4 have been drawn, and 4 won by the Whites.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Elland Road was just last season, in August 2008, where the two teams cancelled each other out in an enthralling 2-2 draw in a League One match.
